I was watching the science channel the other day and a lady was hurt by falling off a ladder. She needed emergency surgery to repair massive internal bleeding. She lost a lot of blood, so she needed a transfusion, but due to her husbands religious beliefs, they were Johavahs Witness, he didnt believe in the blood transfusion, and would not allow it. The doctors tried to convince the husband to go thru with it, that it was a routein surgery, and she would recover within weeks. He still decided against and she died that night. Would you stick to your beliefs and let your mate die?

That isn't 'sticking to your beliefs' that's forcing them on someone else, and really that guy as good as murdered his wife.

I strongly believe that we all are of one. That the behavior of another is just an extension of 'who you are.'
Then I hear about this kind of stupidity. And find that I am truly blessed that it is not me behaving like that.
No I would not allow anyone to die like that.

I wouldn't have a belief that is so unreasonable, so it's hard to put myself in that position.

For my mate I would do anything to save their life.

To each their own, I guess.
He's responsible for her death, he'll have to live with it.
